Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi believed that Liu Mao was very important.

The reason he thought so was actually very simple, because he used a memory card to turn Liu Mao from a cleaner into a Memory Retriever, which actually shook the chaos of the checkpoint scene managed by Old Wang, causing them to pass the level in an abnormal way.

In other words, the fact that they were able to pass through the initial scene was entirely due to Liu Mao.

Luo Xi always felt that the most important thing in doing anything was to grasp the key points.

Especially when in a state of confusion and cluelessness, it is even more important to grasp the known key points.

Therefore, he did not go to Guo Zening, nor did he go to Zhang Yanan, but went to Liu Mao as soon as possible.

"I don't know where Brother Mao lives," Wu Rui, who was driving, said, and Luo Xi quickly said an address.

"Have you been to Brother Mao's house?" Wu Rui asked curiously.

"No, I just heard him say it once."

"You remembered it after hearing it once?"

"I have a good memory."

Wu Rui drove very fast. She didn't seem to know what civilized driving was at all. She floored the accelerator when starting and floored the accelerator when overtaking. Her foot either didn't step on it, or it stepped all the way to the floor.

In short, the way this woman liked to swear, and her driving style, were completely different from her original sweet appearance. In summary, she had a sweet appearance and a wild heart.

More than ten minutes later.

"We're here!"

With a beautiful brake, Wu Rui pressed the electronic handbrake.

Luo Xi opened the door and got out of the car, then looked at the community in front of him.

This was a high-rise building.

It was an apartment building, but an internal road entering the community was blocked off, with construction barriers and the words 'Emergency Construction by the Gas Company' hanging on it.

The sound of some ground-drilling machines could be heard, which was very noisy.

"Is this it?" Wu Rui came for the first time. She locked the car and walked to Luo Xi's side.

Of course, she always had a knife on her waist, and a can of pepper spray in her coat pocket.

If she encountered danger, she would spray it first, then stab the throat with a knife, or, insert it into the eyeballs.

"I haven't been to Brother Mao's house either. He has two children and has to pay off the mortgage. The pressure is still relatively high." Luo Xi had heard Liu Mao complain about these things more than once, and when he was working, Brother Mao often had a headache because of the various indicators pressed down by Director Du.

As a wage earner, indicators are KPIs. If this thing is not completed, it will definitely affect income, and income is what Brother Mao values most.

But Brother Mao is also a loyal person.

He is different from other team leaders. He doesn't excessively demand from the employees in the team. On the contrary, he mostly leads by example, and he never asks others to work overtime while he leaves first.

In addition, he is extremely protective of his own people.

Therefore, Luo Xi respected and admired Liu Mao very much.

"I've also heard that Brother Mao's wife seems to work in the community. She is relatively idle and can easily take care of the children, but her income is very low, less than two thousand yuan. The income of the two of them has to support the family. It is indeed very hard, but Brother Mao's daughter and son are doing well in their studies and are among the top students in the class."

A certain emotion was revealed in her eyes. Obviously, she was in a very excited mood. This was definitely not because of talking about Brother Mao and his wife. This was just an inducement. What she thought of was her own business.

"Let's go up." Luo Xi didn't say much.

He rarely sighed about anything. He only said that just now because he thought of Brother Mao and his wife working so hard.

In fact, there was no fluctuation in his heart. Instead, it aroused Wu Rui's emotions.

Then, why must she seek the real reality?

The two of them, one in front and one behind, walked in from the narrow passage left at the edge of the construction barrier.

This apartment building has ten floors and is not young. It is one of the earliest apartment building projects in the city, and most of these apartment buildings are mostly tenants. Some rent for a long time, and some rent for a short time, but as long as there are many tenants, it will definitely be accompanied by dirt and chaos.

After all, it is not their own home, and when they encounter the kind of unconscious and selfish people who throw garbage and scribble at will, it is not surprising that things are randomly placed in the corridors.

Before this, Luo Xi had called Liu Mao several times, but it was still connected, and no one answered.

This was very abnormal.

Therefore, Luo Xi decided to come over and take a look first, because Liu Mao himself was very special.

He was a 'cleaner', and a cleaner who could let them pass the level in a 'way outside the rules', so in terms of importance, he definitely surpassed Zhang Yanan and Guo Zening, who were also out of contact.

As for the latter two, Luo Xi actually had no way to find them.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Yanan had already died in the explosion of the Bus 45. Without a memory card, she would inevitably become an amnesiac; and Guo Zening now knew through some online gossip that Metro Line 2 had been suspended, but no news came out, which showed that the official blocked the news.

But because of this, the situation there was probably the most troublesome. Besides, Luo Xi couldn't enter the closed subway line, so Guo Zening could only rely on himself.

There was a property company's table at the entrance of the apartment building, but no one was there at the moment. Just as Luo Xi and Wu Rui entered the building, a landline on this table suddenly rang at just the right time.

Ring ring ring!

Ring ring ring!

The sound was extremely harsh.

Luo Xi turned his head and glanced, squinting his eyes and stopping.

"What's wrong?" Wu Rui was stunned.

Then he watched Luo Xi walk to the table on the side of the door.

"What are you doing? You're not going to answer this phone, are you? It has nothing to do with us, and it's impolite to answer other people's phones. Let's go." Wu Rui said softly, but then, Luo Xi pointed her to a place. After she glanced at it, her pupils shrank immediately and she stopped talking.

The landline that kept ringing 'ring ring ring' looked normal. It was just a telephone, but the telephone line connected to this landline was drooping beside it, obviously torn off.

An old-fashioned telephone that was not connected to a telephone line suddenly rang.

What did this mean?

Luo Xi thought for a while and answered the phone in Wu Rui's surprised gaze.

"Hello, Memory Retriever, I am the 'manager of the Sega Apartment Building'. You can call me Carrot. If you have accidentally entered here, please leave immediately, otherwise, if you go further, you will enter my checkpoint scene; and if you are here to challenge my scene, I will explain the basic rules to you after you sign the contract."

Luo Xi was stunned as he listened to the voice in the microphone.
